After installing, simulator is also installed for debugging Store apps. This simulator is well made, it works like remote connecting to self environment. Inside simulator, you are accessing to your own PC, and you can use apps you installed, and making any modification applies to your PC. If you create shortcuts on desktop inside simulator, you will see shortcut created on desktop (outside simulator) real-time.

You will see “Microsoft.Windows.Simulator.exe”, double click and launch. Simulator starts showing Start screen.

After simulator launch, right click simulator icon in task bar, and select pin to task bar, so you can easily launch from next time.

Some functions (function which requires administrative privilege) does not work, but you can do mostly anything inside simulator window. Note that inside simulator links to your PC, so anything you do inside simulator affects your actual environment.

To right side of simulator, there are many buttons to play with. You can switch screen resolution. Default resolution is set to 1366×768, and yes, inside simulator, it is working in this resolution. So, even if your actual screen resolution is low, you can try snap functions by operating through simulator.

However, increasing resolution inside simulator will make simulator run slow, and also make texts hard to read, so it’s better to keep low resolution. See Microsoft site for detailed manual on how to use simulator.

Now, as you can see, you can run Store apps inside simulator, making “Running Store apps in window mode at desktop”.
